Surface treatment is a critical production stage that directly affects the performance, lifespan, and aesthetics of metal parts. Shot blasting, sandblasting, and shot peening applications are used across a wide range from steel structures to automotive parts, shipbuilding to aerospace. At Aktif Celik, through our Ferrotech partnership, we meet all abrasive material needs of the surface treatment sector.

Our steel shot products are offered in a wide size range from S-170 to S-660, compliant with SAE J444 standard. With high hardness (40-55 HRC), low breakage rate, and consistent grain distribution, they provide superior performance in shot blasting machines. Our steel grit products are preferred for applications requiring aggressive surface profiling.

High-purity (99%+ SiO2) silica sand for sandblasting applications is also in our portfolio. Available in different grain sizes (0.1-2.0 mm), silica sands are used for casting cleaning, rust removal, and surface preparation processes.

Steel shots with special hardness and size tolerances used in shot peening applications significantly increase the fatigue life of automotive springs and gear parts. All our products are delivered with chemical analysis, hardness, and granulometry certificates.
